If Boehner is filing suit against Obama for issuing an executive order delaying the employer mandate

then wouldn't Boehner file suit against the SC for changing the birth control Hobby Lobby ruling because they changed the law without going back to Congress to change the law.

for the sake of the same people who buy into the 4 big wedge issues that he pukes use to win elections with, GAGG, God, Abortion, Guns and Gays.
The 30% who are caught up in those issues are lapping this lawsuit nonsense up. If the Democratic voters would always get out and vote this wouldn't be an issue but many times our side won't take the time to vote.

Senator Bernie Sanders addresses The New Populism Conference in Washington, D.C.

I wonder if (or when) he will give up. He wants people to show up at the polls, says 60% won't, the ones most effected. But the RWNJs will vote. They did in 2010. If we don't vote, what happens is up to them...
